Assumes that the use of Collaborative Learning Environments (CLE), along with the educational practices and methods that encourage collaboration, can act as mechanisms that contribute to educational improvement of education in courses of Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The research investigates the use of Moodle promotes a collaborative learning in the discipline of Economics Introduction to Economics course for UFPB / Campus I. And aims to verify how the information resources are developed in the learning process, identifying the procedures of the Information Management (IM), and investigate the conditions of teaching and learning offered in Moodle to encourage students to construct knowledge collaboratively, identifying the procedures of knowledge management (KM) in the discipline exercised. To do that, as theoretical concepts of Information Science (IS), Education, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Information, Knowledge, Collaboration, Collaborative Learning, CLE, GI and CG, to provide the necessary basis the study to achieve their goals. It adopts a qualitative approach is an exploratory, analytical method and case study as methodological tools to guide the search. Elect to interview, systematic observation and semi-structured questionnaire to collect tools and analysis and data. The results show that the use of Moodle promoted the construction of knowledge in a collaborative manner among students of introductory economics course, however differently, since not all cases of GI and CG, needed to provide the opportunity for development of learning collaborative were dealt with as stated by the theories advocated by the research. The situations of collaborative learning among students were not carried out continuously in the discipline. The analysis of participation of students in the tools, forums, quizzes, resources and tasks, show hypothetically possible problems related to motivation and attitude of students in relation to the use of Moodle. We stress the need to promote actions that allow a means for students to understand the benefits of using Moodle and realize that learning collaboratively, beyond the barriers of an individualized learning, for suggesting the exchange, transfer, and gain knowledge among all participants. Finally, it suggests new prospects for the involvement of CI in CLE, emphasizing their social responsibility to promote information and knowledge to citizens, even education as a field for that goal.
